Where to Get Hair Extensions Near Me?

Looking for hair extensions that make you look like you walked straight out of a TikTok glow-up transformation video? I got you! If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent too many hours scrolling through Pinterest, Insta feeds, or binge-watching YouTube tutorials, searching for that perfect long, luscious hair vibe. And now, you’re ready to take the plunge. But you’re sitting there wondering: “Where do I even get hair extensions near me?”

Girl, stress not. I’m about to spill all the tea on where you can find top-tier hair extensions nearby while keeping it fun, fresh, and fab. Let’s dive in!

What Kind Of Extensions Are You Looking For?

Before we even chat locations, you have to figure out what kind of vibes you’re going for. There’s clip-ins, tape-ins, microbeads, and even sew-ins. Soooo many options, right?

Here’s a quick breakdown (because I got you):

Hair Extension Shops, Salons, Or…Amazon?

Now that we’ve got your hair extension options on lock, the big question is: Where to actually get them? If you’re googling “hair extensions near me,” you’ll notice a LOT of options—and not all of them are good.

Let’s break it down and find your best bet!

1. Beauty Supply Stores 🛍

Okay, if you’re a hands-on kinda girl who likes to feel (and maybe even sniff) the hair before committing, beauty supply stores are definitely the move.

A couple of spots to check out:

• Sally’s Beauty: You’ve definitely heard about this one. Sally’s is the OG beauty store, and they stock a decent range of extensions—everything from clip-ins to tape-ins. They have both synthetic and human hair versions, and tbh, most of them are pretty great quality for price.
• Angie’s Beauty Supply (OC Edition): If you’re local to SoCal (especially if you’re close to Huntington Beach like me!), hit up Angie’s. They have a lot of options and the customer service? So helpful for bae’s like us who need recommendations. Plus, if you want to cram in some hair dye or fun accessories on the same trip…it’s a one-stop-shop.
• The Hair Shop LA: If you’re taking a trip to LA, The Hair Shop is literally extension heaven. They have high-quality human hair extensions that’ll make your online Pinterest board dreams come true. Clip-ins, weft extensions, and their customer service? 10/10 every time!

Beauty supply stores are perfect for when you need some extensions *ASAP* and want to see the hair up close.

If you’re totally unsure whether you want human hair or synthetic hair, these types of stores let you feel it out and ask questions! It’s like an in-person tutorial, without the YouTube ads.

2. Local Salons ✂️

For those of you who want a more professional, custom job (ya know, the J.Lo of hair extensions), salons are going to be the go-to. Plus, plenty of salons carry hair extensions in-house, meaning you don’t have to bring your own!

Make sure you do a lil research on the salons though. Not all stylists are trained in extensions (big yikes), so make sure you ask specifically if they do sew-ins, tape-ins, etc., depending on the vibe you’re going for.

Here are some top types of salons to look into:

• Luxury Hair Extension Salons: These salons often have high-end hair extensions but may be more expensive. Think stylists trained in every hair extension method ever. If budget isn’t your concern and you want bomb volume or length, this choice is seriously worth it.
• Specialty Extension Salons: Some salons specifically specialize in hair extensions, meaning they know their tapes from their beads. They’re the pros who can take one look at your hair and know exactly what will work. Plus, these places usually offer the best blending and installations if you want everything to look super natural.

Pro Tip: Always ask about a free consultation before committing. You wanna make sure you vibe with the stylist and feel confident about the installation before you make it official.

3. Online Order for DIYs 👩‍💻

So, if you’re more into doing things yourself, ordering online is SO valid. I know plenty of babes who only use clip-ins or wigs they ordered from Amazon or other hair sites. Who knows? Maybe you can YouTube-tutorial your way into learning how to install tape-ins.

Here are some favs for ordering online:

• Bellami Hair: If you haven’t heard of Bellami Hair, are you…okay?! This is an influencer/celebrity favorite (not Khloe Kardashian partnering with them 👀). Plus, they have a huge variety of colors. They’ve got clip-ins that you can easily install yourself, and pro-level extensions too if you wanna take the salon route.
• Amazon: Yes, Amazon girls, I hear you!!! If you’re willing to read reviews and trust the process, you can find some pretty sweet deals on human hair extensions. Just make sure it’s something like a clip-in or halo, where you don’t need a stylist’s help. It’s affordable and a good option for first-timers who don’t want to drop hundreds of dollars on Day 1. You don’t want any surprises, though—so girl, read those reviews like your life depends on it.
• Luxury For Princess: If you’re in the market for high-quality clip-ins, Luxury For Princess has to be on your radar. They have extensions that don’t compromise on luxe. Cost is slightly higher than what you’d find on Amazon maybe, but honey, it’s worth every penny. You’ll be shook when you realize how seamless it looks.

Finding a Stylist You Trust 💇‍♀️

Once you’ve found your perfect hair extensions, whether from a salon or ordered online, it’s super important to work with a hairstylist who really knows what they’re doing. This matters soooo much more than you’d think.

Especially if you’re going for any method that involves installation (no, your bestie with her DIY setup doesn’t count unless she went to beauty school). Whether you’re team tape-ins or sew-ins, a trained stylist will know how to blend your extensions smoothly into your natural hair. They’ll have those “hair ninja” skills that help you avoid the dreaded “string cheese” effect—you know when they just slap on extensions, and you’ve got that harsh transition between your real hair and the extensions? We’re NOT doing that, sis!

Questions that are a must before letting them touch your luscious locks:

• “How long have you been doing extensions?”
• “What method do you think will work best based on my hair type?”
• “How often should I come in for maintenance?”

Find a stylist you trust like you trust your bestie with your deepest secrets—seriously, it’s that important.

Also, look for someone who understands your hair type, especially if you have curly or textured hair. Extensions done improperly can be a nightmare for anyone with curls or kinks. If your stylist doesn’t know how to work with your texture, keep looking!

Final Deets You Need to Know

When you get hair extensions, you also need to be prepared for the aftercare. Listen, they’re an investment and deserve major TLC. Think about it:

• Use sulfate-free shampoos. This can make a HUGE difference in extending (ha, see what I did there?) the life of your extensions.
• Be gentle when brushing/washing. Like, don’t give your hair extensions the same treatment you’d give a tangly necklace chain.
• Check-in with your stylist regularly—extensions require maintenance, just like that multi-step skincare routine you promised yourself you’d stick to.

There you go, beauty babes! Whether you’re picking up hair extensions from your fave local beauty supply, booking an appointment with a pro stylist, or feelin’ extra adventurous with online ordering, remember: your hair should always be poppin’ and exactly how you want it. Now get ready to serve looks!
